We're using MuleSoft Anypoint Platform to integrate our CRM software Salesforce with various other Banking and Insurance functionalities. The integrations are invoked as APIs majority as REST webservices and for a small number of functions as SOAP Webservice. Many of these services are also opened for external use by proper authentications in place.
  • MuleSoft Anypoint Platform is best for API Development with easy to use platform
  • Supports Cloud deployment as well
  • Webservice integration to n number of technologies without any hassles
  • The platform is unified and takes longer time to get familiarize with
  • The MCD Certifications come with only 2 years of validity which makes it costly each time to go for paid certifications
  • The various windows alignment (floating and docking) is bit cumbersome
MuleSoft Anypoint Platform is best tool in the market for developing APIs with complex structures communicating with various different types of applications including web applications as well as legacy applications. Also applications including database connectivity for fetching and updating data in the DB tables. I cant think of any scenario which MuleSoft Anypoint Platform could not be used for developing the integrations.
  • Ability to handle multiple integrations without any much hassle
  • In-build tools to quickly develop the API design (RAML) and test quick
  • Advanced features like Exception Handling, Object Store, API Policy Management

  • By using MuleSoft Anypoint Platform the overall Development Cost has reduced drastically as the integrations are handled very smoothly now with the APIs
  • The APIs developed with all policies in place are being reused in other projects and it helps reducing the redevelopment cost too
  • By using MuleSoft-managed cloud the maintenance cost is lowered too

MuleSoft Anypoint Platform's primary function is to offer our business a turnkey Cloud hosting solution for all RESTful APIs. There, we have complete command and visibility over all of our infrastructure and application infrastructure. In addition, the Anypoint Platform gives us a place to work on designing our APIs in the RAML language and creating mock services to use in testing, which helps us get things out the door faster. As a company, we specialize in integrating disparate systems by exchanging data using RESTful APIs.
  • Compatible with any program with no hassle.
  • Plug-and-play compatibility with prefabricated connections.
  • Integrates seamlessly with the Salesforce environment.
  • Having too many bells and whistles that we won't ever utilize drives up the price.
  • Not a good buy, as it is often rather pricey.
  • While developers can eventually master Mulesoft Anypoint, it takes some time.
Anypoint Platform is ideal for a large corporation that values efficiency in setting up new environments. Once you log in to Anypoint Platform, you'll have immediate access to the production and staging environments. You can tailor your environment's parameters to your specific needs and requirements, but if you don't you can simply deploy and execute your APIs. Mule does not provide a plan with a price tag that is reasonable for small businesses to pay. Subscription and licensing costs are too costly for a young company.
  • Simple integration with any of the market's existing suppliers.
  • Modular building pieces that can be reused in future builds and deployments, managed and engaged at several levels of abstraction using APIs.
  • Templates, connectors, and working examples are all part of the MuleSoft Anypoint Exchange.

  • Facilitates quicker vendor and partner onboarding.
  • Rapid analysis with no need for human interaction.
  • We haven't done the math on ROI yet, but bringing on new suppliers has been a lot quicker than developing custom solutions from scratch.
Once we have moved all of our system integration APIs to the MuleSoft Anypoint Platform, we will need to communicate with a wide variety of external systems. All of our business and service logic is stored in the aforementioned core systems. Anypoint Platform (and all of our APIs) makes it easy to connect to various other platforms. In order to link to these many other systems, connectors and/or components are utilized, and they are simple to configure and integrate.

A great alternative to Dell Boomi or other middleware products. I still think the user interface is evolving but it can be of significant use towards becoming an API-first company. Mulesoft Anypoint is a competitive solution for developing and deploying API for the organization. It is well documented, and easy to deploy and run.
  • API management
  • Monitoring
  • Cloud integration
  • Access management should be simplified.
  • Should be fully available over the cloud, with no more software installation on a laptop, but again something is necessary to act as a bridge unless it's C2C.
  • User Interface
API Manager: Manage API
Runtime manager: Manage applications

  • Near real time monitoring, eliminated manual intervention
  • Quick deployment, reduced TAT
  • Efficient daily operations
Overall a better experience in pricing negotiation with the Sales team. The breadth of services offered by Mulesoft was really important and the expertise offered by our consulting partner influenced the decision. The overall deployment was completed well within the timelines. It's easier to make a business decision with near real-time message monitoring.

The main use of MuleSoft Anypoint Platform is to provide to our company the entire Cloud solution to host all RESTful APIs. There we can manage and monitor all our systems, having control and support for our applications.
Also, Anypoint Platform provides us a development environment to design our APIs on RAML language and also mock services to speed up the development and delivery. Our main business is system integration using RESTful APIs to exchange data between the systems.
  • Design Center (RAML design definition)
  • Runtime Manager (Cloud solution to host RESTful APIs)
  • Monitoring (Environment Monitoring - Prod and Non-prod)
  • Cloud Development (Design Center - Development of APIs)
  • Access Management (An existent user cannot be "reused")
[MuleSoft] Anypoint Platform fits for an enterprise company that wants to gain time with environment configuration. The deployment environment - pre-prod and prod - is ready to use once you access Anypoint Platform. It's true you can customize all configurations for your environment based on your requirements and needs, but if you don't, just deploy and run your APIs.
For small business, Mule doesn't have a low-cost subscription which can attend small companies. The subscription and license prices are too high for a startup with limited financial resources.

  • Productivity (gain time on environment configuration)
Once we use [MuleSoft] Anypoint Platform to host all our system integration APIS, we need to exchange data with a lot of different resources. Those listed systems are our main systems that hold all business and logic behind our service. The integration from Anypoint Platform (and all our APIs) with these systems is extremely simple to use. The connectors and/or components used to connect to these other systems are easy to configure and to integrate.

Software Developers and Software Engineers: responsible for the development of new APIs to integrate the systems through Anypoint Platform
Business Analysts and Project Managers: responsible for the business decision of what should be delivered to the customer and what must be improved for all integrations made by the developers/engineers
Basically, the Anypoint Platform host all system integration which makes the business of the company. Also, it's responsible to handle the data exchange between them.

We use the MuleSoft Anypoint platform primarily in our IT department to build API solutions that interface with our vendors and partners. The platform itself houses our REST APIs which make requests and receive responses between our systems of record and our third-party processors that house our core application logic.
  • Fast deployment and implementation.
  • Seamless connection for any application.
  • Pre-built connectors out of the box.
  • Integrates easily with Salesforce platform.
  • Has more features than what we really need so we're paying for more than we use. Sort of like paying for an Abrams tank when all we really need is a Toyota Corolla.
  • Not a value product, tends to be expensive.
  • Takes a while for developers to learn to use Mulesoft Anypoint.
You can empower your business with the process, experience, and system APIs. This also tends to simplify API management because they are segregated into the three groups and provide an additional layer of security. Anypoint is very effective at quickly exposing critical data to web apps, connected devices, vendor systems, and mobile devices in a secure way. It's also great for situations where you need to throttle access or requests to certain systems. The template development approach makes it easy to build reusable services across multiple points of integration.
  • MuleSoft Anypoint Exchange including templates, connectors and examples.
  • Multiple layers of management and engagement for APIs that create modular building blocks which can be shared in future builds and deployments.
  • Easy integration with just about any vendor out there.

  • We haven't calculated ROI, but it has allowed us to onboard new vendors much faster than building solutions in-house.
  • Allows for faster integration and on-boarding of vendors and partners.
We selected Mulesoft for speed of implementation. We did not have the luxury of time and needed a solution that can be learned and implemented within weeks so we can take advantage of newly formed partnerships. The training that was provided to use during our pre-sales and post-sales engagement have been adequate and it really helped our team to get the ball rolling all the way to production. The other products we evaluated could have been suitable for us but we determined that it would take our team much longer to build and implement those solutions.
